LlNOTYPE-GALLEY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 701,368, dated June 3,1902 Application iled May 20, 1901.

T0 all whom 'llt may concern:

Beit known that I, FREDERICK EDWIN MID HOLLAND, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, inthe county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new andImproved.Linotype-Galley, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description. A

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved galley forconveniently holding any amount of linotype matter up to its fullcapacity without the aid of quoins, sidesticks, or blocks and which isso constructed that whenever desired the linotypebars may be readilyremoved in whole or in part from the galley.

To this end my invention consists of agalley having a removable side anda particular novel clamping mechanism for the holding-ledge, all asparticularly described and claimed hereinafter.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specication, in which similar characters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a perspective view of my improved galley in avlockedposition. Fig. 2 is a similar View of the galley with the clamp removedand the side bar raised, and Fig. 3 is a partial plan of my improvement.

Theimproved galley is provided with a bottom A, a side B, and two ends Cand D. These parts are rigidly connected with each other. The fourthside of the box or galley is open and is adapted to receive theremovable side bar E, which is provided at its ends with projections Eand vertical sockets Eywhich are adapted to receive pins C D", providedon the projecting lower portions of the end walls C and D. The side barE is also provided at asuitable point-for instance, at the centerwith arecess Ea to facilitate taking hold of said side for the purpose ofremoving it or again inserting it. It will be understood that the typein the linotype-bars are iirst placed against the upper end C of thegalley. The lowermost bar is engaged by a jaw F, which is provided atits end adjacent to the side I3v with a dovetailed portion F', which isadapted to slide in a longitudinal slideway B, eX- tending lengthwise ofthe side B on the inner surface thereof. It will be understood SerialNo. 61,081. (No model.)

that the jaw F is substantially L-shaped, its transversememberengagingthelastlinotypebar, while its short longitudinal memberhas the dovetailed portion F. above referred to. In order to lock thejaw F in any desired position, vI provide a clamping-lever G, which isfulcrumed to turn about a horizontal axis G in a lug G2, projectedinwardly from the face F2 of the dovetailed portion F and integraltherewith. The said lever G is provided at one of its ends witheccentric cams G3, integral therewith and arranged to engage the lowerinner surface of the side B,'adjacent to the slideway B, in such amanner that when the lever Gis thrown down the cam G2 will draw thedovetailed portion F' a slight distance toward the center of the galley,thus causing it to bind against the internal walls of the slideway B',and thuslock the jaw F againstjmovement lengthwise'of the galleythat isto say, the dovetailed portion F is locked in position by the camspulling upon the lug where it extends through the slot. It will beunderstood that the free end of the jaw F, adjacent to the removableside D, has no engagement with said side, or at least is 'not pressedagainst said side at the time the ledge is clamped by means of the leverG. No strain, therefore, ever comes on the removable side E, and itcannot bulge and is always readily removable.

It will be understood that the galleyis filled in the usual way, thejawF holding the type bars together and being moved toward the lower endD as additional linotype-bars arev inserted. I/Vhen it is desired tocorrect matter containedin the galley, the side bar E is removed, andthe linotype-bars can then be slid out through the open side of the boX,either all or singly. In the use of this device,

the quoins, sidesticks, and similar appliances are not required to holdthe linotype matter in place.V The sliding jaw F canbe readily lockediinany position or quickly unlocked when it is desired to move it by merelylowering or raising the lever G.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by `Letters Patent- 1. A galley having a bottom, and side and endmembers, and all rigidly secured together, said end members beingprovided with pins,

and a `removable side member provided with apertures for engagingthesaid pins.

2. A galley provided With an undercut groove, a slidable jaw providedwith a dovetailed portion engaging said groove and also provided with alug, and a lever mounted upon said lug and provided With a cam forengaging a stationary part of the galley, for the purpose of securingsaid slidable jaw thereto.

3. A galley, comprisingaside member provided with an undercut groove, anL-shaped slidable member provided with a dovetailed portion engagingsaid groove and also provided with a lug, and a lever pivoted upon saidlug and provided with cams for engaging a fixed portion 'of said galley.

4. A galley, comprising a side member provided With an undercut groove,an L-sliaped slidable member provided with a dovetailed portion engagingsaid groove and also provided Witli a lug, a lever pivoted upon said lugand provided with cams for engaging a fixed portion of said galley, endmembers engaging said side member and provided with pins, and a sidemember provided with holes for engaging said pins.

5. A galley, comprising a side member provided With an undercut groove,an L-shaped slidable member provided With a dovetailed portion engagingsaid groove, and also provided with a lug, a lever pivoted upon said lugand provided with cams for engaging a iiXed portion of said galley, endmembers X- edly secured to said side member, and a side member removablysecured to said end members.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
